Well, my ellipto-laziness tried to kick in again today, but I told it where to go. Ran to the gym, 30 min on the elliptical with about 6 1 minute segments at 7:30 pace (twice my normal elliptical pace), ran home. It was pretty nice out and the gym wasn't very crowded (not that it's ever really crowded, there were just fewer people there) so I enjoyed my run and my workout a fair amount. I really had to push myself not to stop and walk while I was running because my right shin was really hurting, but I pushed through it. I have been having tight muscle problems (hammies and calves mostly) during my runs, so I have to stop and stretch in the middle of my runs. Considering the distance I'm running that's pretty sad, but I never said I was strong. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I said the opposite. So, as far as my new schedule goes, I think I'm going to like it. It was kind of hard to stay until 5:00 today, but it's only an hour later than I'm used to and I don't have to still fit my workout in after that, so I was able to walk the dog and make dinner before Paul got home (okay, so dinner is still on the stove, but that's an improvement). Also, four hour shifts are much easier than nine hour shifts, so work flew by today. I think this is going to work out well, but I'll keep you posted.
